A very thin, monoline sans with smooth circular bowls and generous open counters. The construction leans geometric, with round forms that read as near-circles and straight strokes that end cleanly without terminals or flaring. Proportions feel balanced and measured, with ample interior space and a light overall rhythm that keeps text from looking dense. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simplified, contemporary structure.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline strokes and open counters can be appreciated—headlines, large editorial pull quotes, brand marks, and refined packaging or product labeling. It can work for short text passages in spacious layouts, but the extremely light weight is most effective when contrast and size support legibility.
The tone is quiet and refined, with an airy, high-end minimalism. Its delicacy and smooth geometry suggest a contemporary, design-forward voice—polished rather than loud, and best when allowed plenty of whitespace.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans optimized for elegant, large-scale typography. By keeping strokes consistently thin and forms broadly geometric, it aims for a sophisticated, minimal presence that pairs well with modern layouts and understated branding.
Round characters like O, Q, and 8 are particularly prominent, giving the face a soft, approachable geometry despite the razor-thin stroke. The numeral set appears straightforward and modern, matching the same linear weight and curvature logic as the letters.
